Pumpkin Cake

September 27, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 9 Comments

Pumpkin, Sultana, and Coconut Loaf Cake is a favourite at our place. The mashed pumpkin makes for a moist cake, and the sultanas and coconut add to the texture. With the mashed pumpkin it is somewhat healthy and it makes for a great lunch box treat.
Loaf cakes are great for giving – they can be easily wrapped in waxed paper, brown paper and string. We found some loaf sized baking liners at Target recently which were perfect for presentation.
